OPOS Printer blocked by RMS

Hi,

I just found that by setting a configuration param in the options of
SO/Manager it will allow sharing of the OPOS printer among applications in a
thread here.

Now my question is, can I set this value in the registry or do I have to
manually change it at every installation?

Thanks,

The configuration options set in SO Adminstrator are stored in the
registry and are local to each register (or workstation). You need to
log in to windows as an administrator for these to be stored, unless you
have previously granted modify permissions to the RMS registry key to
other users.

The configuration options set in SO Manager are stored in the database
and are global to the store.

The screen settings (CTRL-F6) in POS are stored in the registry and are
local, but as far as I know those are the only local settings controlled
by POS - everything else is either global or set per register in SO Manager.

For a single store, setting the "Share the OPOS printer" setting once
will affect all registers once they have been restarted.

For HQ, if you make that setting in your template database it should
carry forward to all stores that are exported using the template in the
future...
